I'm tired of the notion that to agree with anything someone says, you also have to agree with everything else they have ever said.

So it’s official…it took just 7 batches of UAP releases from the government before absolutely no one cared anymore.

People think there is a danger of “rogue AI” escaping the sandbox and taking over the world.
But the real danger is humanity abdicating our place in the world and crawling into the AI sandbox ourselves.

For much of the population, AI surpassed their intelligence in 2025 and I don’t see any cities burning yet (well, not due to AI at least).
Dario Amodei: AI could surpass human intelligence by 2027.
“I think it’s possible it could be longer than that. I don’t think it will be a whole bunch longer.”
“AI systems will be better than almost all humans at almost everything.”
“When that happens, we’ll need to have a conversation about how we organize our economy.”
“How do humans find meaning?”
“The idea that humans produce economic labor and get their sense of self-worth from it will be invalidated.”
“My true belief is that this is coming.”

In history class, I never understood how “advanced” civilizations could collapse. It just didn’t seem plausible.
Anyway, I’ve seen enough. I get it now.

Why do we assume that the UAP/NHI mystery is a one way street? Maybe there are entire NHI civilizations beyond the dimensional veil who only have occasional “human” sightings. Maybe they have their own debates as to whether or not we are real.

The Tesla Roadster video is a cool thing to see on my timeline.
That doesn’t mean it’s the ONLY thing I want to see my timeline.

2026 is fundamentally no different than previous years.
Amateurs can create something that appears to work.
But they’re unlikely to create something that is secure, performant, consistent, accessible, usable, reliable, maintainable, and scalable.
Software engineering was supposed to go away when low-code/no-code hit the shelves. It was supposed to go away when WYSIWYG IDEs hit the shelves. And it didn't.
And now, with AI coding agents, it's still the same. It lowers the barrier to entry. You can get started faster than ever. You can even build small personal projects and productivity tools with little or no SWE experience.
But as soon as you want to build software in earnest, you need to know the fundamentals: Security, maintainability, scale, reliability, etc. They do not go away regardless of how advanced the software-building technology becomes.

There is a 100% chance this ends…badly.
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.
It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Community note
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard.

We should just sandbox the agents by giving them Delta Wifi

Are the normies using Meta Muse or Grok Bot or is this just something that tech bros are telling themselves?
How is a normie using AI agents? Are they? Every AI agent example you see is a tech bro asking an agent to do some completely over-the-top complex task for the sake of complexity. A normal person doesn't do that. A normal person wants to get off work, chill, see their family, play with their pets, eat some food, have some drinks, sleep, repeat.
The examples shown are all strivers trying to maximize every waking minute of their life for productivity.
The normal person would see that and tell you to pound sand and go back to their lives.
What is the use case for the average person?

The limiting factor for the vast majority of software engineering is no longer intelligence of the model generating the code but the harness, context and skill of the engineer driving it.

Some say when you can't detect the improvement from one model to the next, it is because it is operating on a level beyond your discernment.
So apparently grok 4.7 is officially smarter than me.

I usually just ignore LinkedIn spam....but telling me to follow Obama is an instant unsubscribe. Read the room LinkedIn, it's not 2010 anymore.

People tend to freak out when a machine becomes smarter than they are. That also explains why the panic is hitting Democrats before anyone else.
You know a movement is totally grassroots and organic when they spontaneously have coordinated signs with logos and corporate level branding.
What an op.
